684. Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven

1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;
To his feet your tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Evermore his praises sing:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise the everlasting King.

2 Praise him for his grace and favor
To his people in distress;
Praise him still the same as ever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Glorious in his faithfulness.

3 Father-like he tends and spares us;
Well our feeble frame he knows;
In his hands he gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Widely yet his mercy flows.

4 Frail as summer's flow'r we flourish,
Blows the wind and it is gone;
But while mortals rise and perish,
God endures unchanging on;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise the high eternal one!

5 Angels, help us to adore him;
You behold him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before him,
Dwellers all in time ad space:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise with us the God of grace.
